On Israel’s Redemption

Michael Peach

End the Occupation, Israel, cease the fall
Away from God and our integrity;
Reject outright the evil beck and call
Of Christians who’ve perverted Prophecy.
Like them we foolishly believed the Lord
Applauded, when we took from Arab hands
The rest of Eretz Israel and ignored
His word that justice is more blessed than lands.
Thanks to its sacred democratic creed,
A major step in Jewish evolution,
The state should from the settlers’ sway be freed
If most of us were bent on resolution.
   By voting thus for peace we would declare
   Our faith in God, who promised: "I’ll be there".
